This document discusses the evolution of mobile networks and increasing network capacity demands. It covers several topics:
- Mobile network traffic has increased 10x in 3 years, while revenue only increased 35%, highlighting the capacity challenge.
- More spectrum is needed to meet future demand, but obtaining sufficient low-frequency spectrum is important for coverage and reducing costs.
- Future networks will require more frequent upgrades than in the past to support rising traffic loads. Technologies like LTE can help increase network capacity at a lower cost per bit.
- Indoor coverage solutions like small cells will become more important as the majority of data traffic occurs indoors. Fixed broadband can also help offload mobile networks.
